Guest guest Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Dear Dharam Dev ji, Thank you for the inputs and guidance on the 3 mukhi beads I received from Mr. Raja. 1. These are oblong...not round. I am not sure of the workmanship in Pune, hence I may use glue or wire mesh to tie it up. 2. I have been able to clean them, and soaked them in sesame oil, the color is clean and texture is fairly smooth. 3. One out of the three has got a mark of 'OM' appearing on it on the side. Kindly suggest if this has some significance. 4. I do not have a proper puja place in my house and I am constantly travelling. In such a situation, I prefer to have it placed on my body only. Kindly suggest on how to go ahead on this.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Sachinji I am not as knowledgeable as Shree DDji but I remember someone explaining to me something like this: When you are at the place you call home, you should wear rudraksha for as long as you possibly can during the day and at night you can take it off and place in your puja altar (if you have one at home. You do not need the physical altar to be present but if you have a dedicated place in your home where you keep your religious pictures/books/statues, that would be sort of equivalent to the altar) or have the beads on your bed-side table. If the beads are not in the sacred place in your home, they ought to be placed close to where your head would be when you are lying in your bed and if possible raised higher from the ground than your bed. When you are not in the place that you call home, you should try and wear the beads all of the time. Obviously observing the sanctity and longevity of the beads to avoid wearing them during the times that the beads ought not to be worn (while having a shower/bath for example to avoid damage to the beads from soaps etc.). You would be able to find such information on the Rudraksha ratna web-site as to what to do/not-to-do while being a practicing rudraksha wearer. Hope this helps.
